What was kingdom hearts about

Sora and his friends eventually arrive at Hollow Bastion , the home world of Ansem and the headquarters of Maleficent. Riku takes the Keyblade from Sora, claiming that he was fated to have it all along and Sora was simply the "delivery boy". Donald and Goofy, taking their order to follow the "key" seriously, reluctantly leave with Riku. Sora calls on his courage and enters the Bastion anyway, then challenges Riku again, stating that his heart derives strength from his friends.

His friends return to him, as does the Keyblade, leaving Riku into being bested in combat against his former friend. Shamed, Riku flees and meets a cloaked man who goads him to give into the darkness. Sora, Donald, and Goofy, meanwhile, engage and destroy Maleficent. They soon after meet a strangely-behaving Riku with a new Keyblade that unlocks hearts. He leads them to Kairi's living but unfeeling body; Riku then reveals himself as completely possessed by Ansem.

The newly reformed Ansem explains that Kairi is the last Princess of Heart, and that her missing heart has been trapped within Sora's body since the destruction of Destiny Islands. Spurred to action, Sora defeats Ansem; however, he cannot seal Hollow Bastion's keyhole because Kairi's heart is still in his body; thus, the keyhole remains incomplete.

Sora uses Ansem's Keyblade to unlock his heart, releasing both his and Kairi's heart, but turning him into a Heartless, though it destroys Ansem's Keyblade and returns the hearts of the other Princesses to their bodies.

Kairi's heart returns to her body, in turn, completing the final Keyhole; she then returns Sora to human form by the strength of her heart. The group resolves to follow and end Ansem's plan. Ansem retreats to the End of the World , the combined fragments of worlds taken by the Heartless.

Upon being found and finally beaten, despite the various means he tries to fight Sora with, including the World of Chaos, he explains his belief that darkness is the heart's true essence, and he seeks Kingdom Hearts, the source of all hearts, and therefore the ultimate source of darkness. However, upon opening the door to Kingdom Hearts, it reveals Light , killing Ansem. Beyond the door are Mickey and Riku, who is back in control of his own body.

They help Sora and the others close the door, as there are many Heartless beyond it, but Riku and Mickey must remain inside to help seal it. Mickey and Sora then use their Keyblades to lock the door. The destroyed worlds reconstruct themselves; Kairi is pulled back to the Destiny Islands, but Sora promises her before separating they will all reunite some day. Kingdom Hearts Wiki Explore.

Sora is now alone on Destiny Island, but not for long: The darkness blows Sora clean out of his world and into Traverse Town. They form a trio, promising to help each other on their missions.

They decide to travel through Disney worlds together — like Neverland, Halloween Town, and Wonderland — in search of their friends. But the darkness that absorbed Riku also changed him, allowing Ansem the Heartless to possess his heart. Each one carries one of the the seven light pieces of the X-blade that broke off years before, when the legendary weapon shattered.

Sora becomes a Heartless, but Kairi uses her Princess of Heart powers to revert him to normal. Here, they all face off against the big-bad in a series of boss fights, with help from Riku and Mickey. In a last-ditch effort, Ansem the Heartless opens up his own creation of Kingdom Hearts, expecting the nature of all things to be evil and grant him unlimited darkness powers. Defeating Ansem relieves the world of darkness — with one big exception.

In order to help Sora defeat the powerful Heartless, Riku and Mickey shove him through the door of light. But they get stuck on the wrong side of the door, trapping them within the darkness that remains. They must find their way out, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy go off on other adventures and continue to look for Kairi.

This takes us to Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. When Sora opened his heart to free Kairi, something unexpected happened: Two Nobodies were created. The goal of the Organization is to return all these Nobodies to their human bodies, which involves collecting as many hearts as possible.

They lure the team to a location called Castle Oblivion. Aqua sacrifices herself in the process to save Riku, which locks her in the realm of darkness. Roxas and a member of the Organization named Xion become good buddies with another member, Axel. Xion is eventually revealed to be a program, created from the memories and data of Sora. But she must sacrifice herself to do so. While apprehensive at first, she eventually agrees and makes Roxas kill her, returning her memories to Sora.

In order to win, Riku unleashes the darkness inside of himself — transforming himself to look like Ansem the Heartless, although he still maintains control. Riku takes Roxas to Diz. Roxas hangs out with friends here, and is eventually attacked by Axel, whom the Organization has sent to find Sora.

But Roxas gets out alive, and eventually finds his way to Sora. Roxas allows this to happen — essentially also sacrificing himself — and Sora wakes up. And thus, Kingdom Hearts 2 really begins. Our heroes continue doing what they did in the first game: clearing worlds of Heartless.

Axel realizes he misses his good friend Roxas, so he hatches a plan to retrieve him from his new form as the other half of Sora, whom he has now declared war on. Sora, Donald, and Goofy make it to a place consumed by darkness called the World that Never Was , where the Organization maintains its headquarters. Diz reveals himself to be Ansem the Wise and uses a machine to extract hearts from the second artificial Kingdom Hearts run by the Organization. The machine is overwhelmed by the power of the Kingdom Hearts, causing it to explode.

But this explosion cleanses Riku — returning him to normal — while seemingly killing Diz. To make matters worse, Xehanort can time-travel.

They decide to find Aqua, Ventus, and Terra. They know Aqua is in the darkness world, and Ventus is assumed comatose somewhere, so locating Terra is their big focus. Before they can truly stand a chance against the ultra-powerful Xehanort, Sora and Riku have some serious training to do.
